OBL not traced due to Afridi's fake polio campaign: Sartaj
2014-05-14
[DAWN] Advisor to Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs and National Security Sartaj Aziz informed the National Assembly on Tuesday that this perception was wrong that the late Osama bin Laden
... who used to be alive but now he's not...
was traced in Abbottabad
... A pleasant city located only 30 convenient miles from Islamabad. The city is noted for its nice weather and good schools. It is the site of Pakistain's military academy, which was within comfortable walking distance of the residence of the late Osama bin Laden....
due to the fake polio
...Poliomyelitis is a disease caused by infection with the poliovirus. Between 1840 and the 1950s, polio was a worldwide epidemic.

campaign launched by Dr Shakil Afridi.

Responding to a point of order raised by Senator Farhatullah Babar of Pakistain Peoples Party (PPP), he said that the wrong perception led to attacks on polio workers, adding that there were only 60 to 65 different areas in the country where the campaign could not be launched properly.

Aziz said the United Nations
...a formerly good idea gone bad...
' name was mistakenly mentioned in the list of NGOs involved in Shakil Afridi's fake campaign, which had been clarified in today's newspapers as well.

Earlier, on a point of order, Senator Babar said it was a matter of concern that World Health Organisation (WHO) had recommended some travel restrictions over Pakistain on polio issue.

He said the statement issued by the foreign office in response to WHO mentioned that a fake campaign was conducted by Shakil Afridi in Pakistain to trace the al Qaeda leader, in which, all the international NGOs were involved.

The PPP senator further said that as the Abbottabad Commission's report was still not made public, the statement of the foreign office was misleading the nation.
